This infodemiological study utilized Relative Search Volumes (RSV) from Google Trends. It determined changes in public interest in mental health after the implementation of the mental health laws of Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand using search volumes from 2004 to 2021. It found that public interest in mental health increased in Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore after implementing their mental health laws. On the contrary, public interest in mental health continued to decrease in Thailand despite its mental health law implementation. This can be explained by the unequal prioritization of mental health among these countries.
本信息流行病学研究利用了 Google Trends 的相对搜索量 (RSV)。它使用 2004 年至 2021 年的搜索量,确定了马来西亚、菲律宾、新加坡和泰国实施心理健康法后公众对心理健康的兴趣变化。研究发现,马来西亚、菲律宾和新加坡在实施心理健康法后,公众对心理健康的兴趣有所增加。相反,尽管泰国实施了心理健康法,但公众对心理健康的兴趣仍持续下降。这可以解释这些国家对心理健康的重视程度不平等。
